Toronto's Ward, Cox Begin Stint With Osceola Today

Sport this morning - Sunrise headliners

June 30, 1994

Duane Ward and Danny Cox, members of the 1993 World Series champion Toronto Blue Jays, will be in Dunedin's dugout today through Sunday when the club visits Osceola County Stadium in Kissimmee for a Class A Florida State League series against the Osceola Astros. All four games begin at 7 p.m.

Both pitchers are putting in time in the minor leagues to rehabilitate injuries. Ward and Cox are both scheduled to pitch today and Saturday, and they could be recalled by Toronto next week if all goes well during the Osceola series.

Ward, 30, had an American League-leading and Toronto-record 45 saves a year ago. Cox, 34, was 7-6 with a 3.12 ERA.
